A Confident Person

The person continued, "Why isn't Sect Master Luo staying at her Inquiry Sword Sect? Why did she specifically cross the Magic Severing Array to come to our impoverished backwater? Ah~~ I see. I understand now."

The person's lips curved slightly, revealing a charmingly evil, confident smile. "You still can't forget that one night, can you?"

Chu Lu's eyes snapped open. "Huh!?"

Damn! he thought. What's going on? Who is this guy? What's your relationship? No way! I know your Female Fiction genre loves these enemies-to-lovers tropes, but seriously?

"Ahhh! He's lying, he's lying! Don't listen to his nonsense! Of course not!" Luo Qingdie immediately exploded in anger. "I don't like these effeminate monsters!"

"Then what's going on?"

"This guy is Fu Chiying," Luo Qingdie explained. "I have no relationship with him, I only met him once many years ago. Back then, a group of demonic cultivators attacked the Magic Severing Array, and I led the righteous path cultivators to repel them, then pursued them overnight. He was one of the people being pursued. I hadn't reached the Mahayana Stage back then, and a more powerful Great Demon appeared mid-pursuit, so I gave up halfway. The night he's talking about probably refers to that."

Hearing this, Chu Lu was still a little suspicious. If he was chased for half the night, why would the other person speak so ambiguously?

At this moment, Fu Chiying spoke again. "That night, we chased each other across the wilderness. My movements were agile, darting through the grass like a leopard. Your posture was graceful as you pursued closely. Under the night sky, your eyes were filled with my retreating figure, and my ears were filled with your voice. I turned to attack, and you met me with your sword. In our fierce exchange, our gazes accidentally met. In that moment, time seemed to freeze, and I saw the struggle and infatuation in your eyes. In that moment, I understood that you had fallen in love with me."

Chu Lu: "..."

Alright, I'm not suspicious anymore.

Luo Qingdie: "Chu Lu, kill him. Just this once, I support you killing someone!"

Chu Lu listened and moved closer to Fu Chiying.

Seeing this, Fu Chiying's smile grew even wider. He spread his arms and said, "Come on. I know you've been lonely for many years. Come, throw yourself into my arms! Although I already have seventy-two wives and concubines, it's fine, I'll let you be the main wife. It just so happens that the Limitless Demonic Venerable is getting married, and all the great demonic venerables will be attending. I'll take you..."

Chu Lu's hand shot out, grabbing Fu Chiying by the neck, cutting off his words into a sharp cry.

Fu Chiying's face turned red, and he became furious, about to retaliate. However, Chu Lu merely released his Mahayana Stage power, immediately making Fu Chiying tremble with fear.

"First, I don't like your smooth talk and inflated ego, so you'd best be respectful to me from now on, understand?" Chu Lu said.

Fu Chiying nodded repeatedly.

"Very good." Chu Lu then released him.

Fu Chiying gasped repeatedly. It wasn't because his neck was choked and he couldn't breathe; his cultivation level meant he no longer needed to breathe. It was purely to relieve his fear.

He looked at Chu Lu with surprise and uncertainty, feeling that the latter was different from his memory.

"Since you're a demonic cultivator, you should be very familiar with this place, right?" Chu Lu said. "So, which Great Demons are there now? And where are they? You should know, right?"

Fu Chiying replied, "I know most of them clearly. But some don't have a fixed abode and are elusive, so I can't say."

"Hmm, that's fine too," Chu Lu nodded.

Luo Qingdie spoke up then. "Chu Lu, are you going to use him as a guide?"

"That's right," Chu Lu answered. "Otherwise, in such a large place, if I had to run around alone, how long would it take? Until the monkey year and horse month?"

"Hmm... alright," Luo Qingdie's mood was complicated. In the past, she always hoped Chu Lu wouldn't kill anyone, but Chu Lu wouldn't listen to her. The only time she hoped Chu Lu would act, he refused.

Chu Lu ignored her mood and looked at Fu Chiying. "You just said the Limitless Demonic Venerable is getting married?"

"Y-yes."

"And all the great demonic venerables will be attending? How many people specifically?"

"Of course, it's true," Fu Chiying still hadn't figured out Chu Lu's intentions and could only answer honestly. "The Limitless Demonic Venerable is recognized as the number one person among demonic cultivators today. Few people dare to refuse his invitation. Moreover, the one he's marrying is recognized as the second most powerful demonic cultivator – Mo Youtong. With their combined strength, it's clear they intend to unify the Demonic Path, so no one would dare not go."

"Excellent, excellent," Chu Lu nodded with satisfaction. This was like getting a pillow when you were sleepy; it came at the perfect time.

"Take me there immediately," Chu Lu said.

"Huh?" Fu Chiying frowned, growing more confused. He asked, "Um... may I ask? What are you going there for?"

Fu Chiying thought to himself that Luo Qingdie, a righteous path cultivator, crossing the Magic Severing Array alone and venturing deep into Demonic Path territory was already strange enough. Now she was going to the Limitless Demonic Venerable's wedding? This was too bizarre.

"Of course, to slay demons and eliminate evil," Chu Lu said calmly.

"Ah?!" Fu Chiying was startled.

Two days later, led by Fu Chiying, Chu Lu arrived at the wedding venue.

Although the endless wilderness outside the Nine Provinces was impoverished and lacked resources, this was, after all, the Limitless Demonic Venerable's wedding. Moreover, demonic cultivators possessed earth-shattering abilities.

Therefore, the wedding was extremely extravagant: a palace like a heavenly palace, banquets stretching for a hundred miles, and a crowd as dense as ants were all quite stunning.

Fu Chiying stopped at a distance. "Sect Master Luo, if we get any closer, we might be discovered. If you want to infiltrate, you should disguise yourself first."

"Ah? Why would I need to infiltrate?" Chu Lu was taken aback.

Fu Chiying then smiled, as if to say, Stop pretending. "Alright, aren't you here to snatch the bride?"

For the past two days, Fu Chiying had been convinced that Chu Lu was spouting nonsense. How could he possibly be here to slay demons and eliminate evil?

So, after two days of deep thought, he finally arrived at an answer.

She must be after the Limitless Demonic Venerable.

Fu Chiying thought, She must like the Limitless Demonic Venerable, secretly love him, and can't stand him marrying someone else, so she's here to snatch the bride!

"Ah? I'm here to kill people."

"Alright, alright," Fu Chiying shook his head. "Sect Master Luo, you don't need to hide it. How could a righteous path cultivator inexplicably come to slay demons and evil, and stubbornly insist on crashing this wedding? This is the Limitless Demonic Venerable's wedding. More than ninety percent of the Tribulation Stage cultivators of the Demonic Path are already here. Among them, there are countless Tribulation Stage Peaks. Even if you are powerful, and let's say, even if you've reached the legendary Mahayana Stage, once you reveal yourself and anger them, they might force you to drag them down with you."

"Multiple Tribulation Stage Peak cultivators undergoing tribulation simultaneously would trigger multiple lightning tribulations. At that point, forget about you, even an immortal would... Huh? What are you taking out a mirror for?"

Chu Lu held up the Demon Slaying Mirror and grinned at him.
